Show Oct 21 25 Ogden High School Notes Man has a various nature, -wliich requires a variety of occupation and discipline for its growth. Study, meditation, society, and relaxation should be mixed up with his physical toils. He has intellect, heart imagination, taste, as well as bon and muscles; and he is grievous) wronged when compelled to exclu: sive drudgery for bodily subsistence. Life should be an alterna- : tion of employments, so diversified as to call the whole man into action. -WILLIAM E. CHANNING. GOOD DEFINITION. Students who are concerned with the making of- definitions these i days might be interested in the following definition taken from the Utah Taxpayer: Taxation-The process by which money is collected from the people to pay the salaries of the men who j do the collecting. The surplus is used to pay the i. salaries of the men whom people elect to determine the amount to be collected from them. MOONSTONE COVE. The school council decided at Tuesday night's meeting to purchase the picture of the above title by Utah's well known artist, J. T. Harwood. This is the first picture purchased by the student body and i indicated a step of progress in the j organization. There is a growing I appreciation of art in the high school and some day there will be i a fine collection of pictures at the ! school. BRIGHT REMARKS. As a teacher wa strying to back H? his car from the curb on a busv Ai thoroughfare he gave utterance to in, this clever remark: "if the Lord j had foreseen the day of the automobile, he would certainly have i provided eyes all around the head i so that one might see in all direc- I wt tions at the same time." j b ch VICTORY FOR ALL On one of the pages of the November American appears these sig- ' ev nificant lines in heavy type: "Mrs. MacDowell, you have won ili-v a great victory." She answered i fo Ive done the best I could and sl that s victory." ov One need not read the story- no that doesn't matter. There's a, th great truth in those simple words so - ' fa that's worth nTcTCJian a dozen sp stories. Students, readers, consid- ev er these words, and answer for bo yourself this question: "Are you h winning any victories?" Ti A BOUQUET. if The following letter was re- ceived Tuesday and is much appre- u ciated by both faculty and students: h Mr. A. M. Merrill, principal, Ogden High School. ir Dear Mr. Merrill: ;e Permit me to congratulate you k upon the splendid dancing party the high school gave at the Berthana Friday night. I was especially pleased to see I j so many faculty members present, , for such attendance shows to me j that they are interested in the boys and girls whom, they are teaching, i , All in all it was a very successful party, and I want to compliment both faculty and pupils for making it a credit to the Ogden High school. ' 11 Such parties are the finest kind of advertising that the high school 5 can have. May we have many more : c of them during the year. Cordially yours, v W. KARL HOPKINS, Superintendent. SCHOOL PLAY CHOSEN. It's "Seven Keys to Baldpate," a melodramatic farce in three acts, by George M. Cohan. The play will give histrionic opportunity to nineboys and four girls. Time was that, if a play kept its audience mytified until the end. that play was doomed to certain failure, or, at least authors and ! producers thought so. But it remained for George M. Cohan to demolish that fallacy, and demolish j it he did with one of the biggest successes New York has seen. It j was "Seven Keys to Baldpate," that created the vogue of the mystery ( h play, and since its first production d it has many imitations, but nothing ! has caused anything like the sen- ! n sation of this remarkable play. The - story is intensely interesting from t the first word to the last. - I O. H. S. is paying the highest royalty it has ever paid for permis- : sion to produce a play. The play will be the feature of; i- the high school gala night. Miss L- Beck promises an evening full of; o entertainment. FREE TEXT BOOKS. We have complained heretofore in these columns of the inordinate h expense of text books. It seems1 ie ! there are others thinking of the § e same subject, for in "What's on j i e Your Mind" column in Collier's,, a ; woman from Atchison, Kan., writes: , h "What's on your mind? What is e on the mind of every father and : oj mother with children in the'public f ; schools right now? School books- j ,e Why can't we have free text books, e and in this way make our public ;o schools what they really claim to be, 'Free Public Schools.' "We build fine school buildings and take away the means of educa- tion-books-and call our school „_ free. How come?" F9 FORUM. ,e A most interesting debate was d j held Monday evening at the Forum i ' l on the question: i "Resolved, That the O. H. S. Classicalia be continued." The neg- )e ative speakers, Garff Wilson and j David Camp, were awarded the decision against Hal Armstrong j ' and Jack Craven. The argument ! ! aroused much interest, and after it j was over the whole club discussed ; the question informally. For the j next meeting a three-man debate was scheduled on the question of j the recent air controversy. The debaters will be Bill Gunnell, John Griffin, Read Ames, versus Ed |
